The Thirty-third Conference of the Cryptogamic Society of 
Scotland was held at Dnmmadrochit, Inverness-shire, from the 
15th to the 17th September 1908. The place of meeting was 
Mr. Macdonald’s Hotel. On this occasion the Society was joined 
by the British Mycological Society, and the union of the Societies 
added to the pleasure and profit of each. The district is rich in 
fungi, and much assistance was derived by both Societies from the 
guidance of Mr. Angus Grant, whose home is in Drunmadrochit, 
and who has discovered many interesting fungi there. The 
weather on the whole was favourable, and the foray proved to be 
in every way a successful one. 
The first day’s outing was to the woods round Beaufort Castle, 
for the investigation of which permission bad been kindly granted 
by Lord Lovat. Here many interesting plants were found, and 
Mr. A. Cowan picked up a Tricholoma new to science, of which a 
full description and plate are given in the Transactions of the British 
Mycological Society for 1908. It has been named Tricholoma 
luteocitrinum , Rea. Among other noteworthy finds was that of 
Dianema corticatum , Lister, the third time it has been detected in 
Britain, and Cribraria pyriformis , Schrad, not before recorded for 
Scotland, and not hitherto certainly found in England. Both 
these discoveries fell to Mr. W. B. Allen. Miss A. Lorrain Smith 
was fortunate in discovering Stictis fimhriata, Schwein., on pine 
cones, a discomycete new to the British Fungus Flora. In addition 
to these specially interesting plants, a large number of other fungi 
were found, which appear in their proper order in the accompanying
